crooked fabric
So I purchased a cotton and stee fabric. It has a vertical print of cute little animals. It is called Harjuku Aqua. The animals are a continuous line, like a stripe.
So it appears to have been printed not square. The person who cut it didn't merely just fold and cut, she opened the fabric and fussy cut at the feet of the animals. To keep it straight. So while the cut line matches their feet, it is actually crooked.
Yet when you fold it in half the "lines" of the animals at the selvages do not match up. They are off about 1/2 inch.
The only thing on the fold is the waist band. Do I eyeball and cut everything off grain a bit, or do I just do something else with this fabric where an obvious vertical line won't show?
How do you all handle fabric that was printed off grain/ not square?
